A new tower which is set to become the “Diamond of Dubai” was unveiled at Cityscape by world-renowned tall building specialists Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill.
The architects told designMENA that the structure was inspired by the idea of a bookmark – with the southern part of Dubai crowned with the new Burj2020 tower to complement the Burj Khalifa dominating the Downtown skyline.
The design is part of a masterplan by DMCC, the authority on trade, enterprise and commodities in Dubai, which is set to create a new urban destination for the global business community and was on display at the 2015 Cityscape Global Conference.
The tower will form “The Southern Gateway to Dubai” said the design team.
Adrian Smith, partner at AS+GG and designer of both the Burj Khalifa and Saudi Arabia’s Kingdom Tower, said: “The design concept was inspired by faceted gemstones rooted in the principles of perpetual value, enduring strength and everlasting beauty. Symbolising the next stage of growth for the city, the design of the Burj2020 is also inspired by the facets of a diamond – elegant, bold and timeless.
